Revision as of 07:42, 25 July 2010
Updates
I've done some quick tests to verify that fluid mechanics have not been changed from 40d and went ahead and pulled this page forward to 2010. However looking back over this page, I really don't like the way the content is presented here, so I may go back and rewrite this entire page to clean it up a bit when I have the time. Doctorzuber 07:01, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, I took the time to heavily re-write this page using some elements from the old 40d page. The material is basically the same, I just added more diagrams for u-bending which I think very efficiently illustrates how pressure works in a quick and visual way. I also made some slight adjustments to the old ascii diagrams jazzing them up a bit with some unicode. I now leave this open for the wolves to descend upon and tune this page up even further. Doctorzuber 01:54, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
- Right, well I'm new to the whole wiki thing, so I wasn't confident changing it, but shouldn't the redlink "Hatches" instead go to the page "Hatch covers"? http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Hatch_cover --195.2.132.217
- Hatch should be correct, but apparently the redirects are screwing that up right now, I changed it to hatch_cover for now since I can't edit the redirects myself. --Doctorzuber 07:09, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
How do i build a water cannon
Hi, how do I achieve pressure? If eg. I have a reservoir that I want to pressurize, so that I can shoot it out like a water cannon.--208.81.12.34 18:32, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
- You need to create pressure. You can either fill your reservoir to many levels above your "cannon" so there is natural pressure, or you can use a pump stack to create the pressure directly since pump stacks push water quite quickly anyhow. Probably the fastest system is to have a tall multi z-level reservoir with a pump stack pulling from the bottom level of the reservoir. Be warned, this does tend to empty the reservoir VERY quickly. --Doctorzuber 01:31, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
Flow through Diagonal
Water flowing through a diagonal and then through a u-bend will only reach a level 1 z below the level the diagonal is on. Making changes to the neutralizing flow section to make it a little clearer. --Arhm 05:08, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not certain that statement is true, I'll have to check that one. Rivers do fill to z - 1, until you place a dam. Once you've built the dam the river fills to z - 0. But you're not describing a river. I'm thinking it will fill back to z - 0 like a blocked river. --Doctorzuber 07:41, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
A theory section perhaps ?
